Mixed Signal IC Layout Engineer
Location: Santa Clara, California, United States
Department: Silicon: Mixed Signal Design
Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
Tenstorrent is looking for a Mixed Signal IC Layout Design Engineer role involves full-custom physical layout of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, turning schematics into manufacturable layouts that meet performance, power, area, and reliability targets in advanced FinFET processes. The role focuses on high quality, high-speed analog/mixed-signal blocks and their integration into larger SoCs.
This role is remote, based out of any in the United States.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
Who you are
- An experienced analog/mixed-signal IC layout engineer with strong full-custom layout background on high-speed blocks (PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, comparators, clock generators, high-speed I/Os).
- Proficient with Synopsys Custom Compiler or Cadence Virtuoso for custom layout, and Synopsys ICV or Siemens Calibre for physical verification (DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM, Antenna).
- Deep experience in CMOS/FinFET nodes (ideally TSMC or Samsung 12nm–2nm) with delivered silicon and a strong grasp of EM/IR, ESD, and latch-up in mixed-signal layouts.
- Detail-oriented and organized, able to own complex blocks independently and collaborate effectively with circuit designers; typically hold a BSEE (or equivalent experience) with ~10+ years in analog/mixed-signal layout.
What we need
- Execute full-custom analog/mixed-signal layout for key blocks (PLLs, VCOs, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, bandgaps, comparators, clock generators, high-speed I/Os) from schematics to manufacturable layouts.
- Develop optimized block and top-level floorplans, placement, and routing that balance area, parasitics, matching, congestion, and integration into our D2D PHY.
- Apply best-known layout practices and optimize parasitics (R/C), coupling, IR drop, and electromigration to meet precision, noise, timing, and power goals while closing DRC, LVS, ERC, DFM, and Antenna.
- Support post-layout extraction and simulation and, as a bonus, contribute layout methodology and automation/scripts (Python, Tcl, SKILL, etc.) to improve team-wide quality and productivity.
What you will learn
- Deep, hands-on experience with cutting-edge FinFET technologies (down to 2nm) and the nuances of mixed-signal layout at these nodes.
- How to integrate high-speed analog/mixed-signal IP into a complex D2D PHY, including interactions across digital, analog, and I/O domains.
- Advanced approaches for managing EM/IR, ESD, latch-up, and physical-verification closure in dense mixed-signal environments.
- How to influence and evolve layout flows, methodologies, and automation, shaping how the broader team delivers high-quality silicon.
Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.
Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.
This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
